From: The human jejunum has an endogenous microbiota that differs from those in the oral cavity and colon

Fig. 6

Major bacterial genera of the jejunum in relation to oral and colonic microbiota. The 26 most abundant species in our 20 patients are shown in the central circle of the Venn diagram. Genera in and overlapping the red ellipse are derived from published metagenomic studies of colonic bacteria [24, 25]. The blue ellipse represents the most abundant genera of oral microbes, obtained from our saliva and plaque control samples, and from references [22, 26] and [30]
